Can't get music to play from my lap top.

The little quation mark on my itunes library from my lap top is preventing it from playing a lot of my music. Is their a way to delete them or turn the quation marks off.

Can you post a screen shot of these question marks? Are do you mean exclamation marks? If so, see this article to help you locate this lost media.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

I can't get music to play.

Hi. I have a problem. I can't get music to play n my new ipod topuch. I get up to the song list, but then when I touch the song, it doesn't play.

Hello Nicole Danielle,
I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes. I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes. I recommend following the steps in the following article:

Can't Get Music to Play in LR2 Slideshow

I cannot get LR2 to play songs from my playlist in iTunes on my Mac. I've read through the threads on this forum, refreshed the list on LR's slideshow section, tried repairing permissions, created new playlists in iTunes-- still no success. Does it matter that the songs are ACC files? (I'd think that that is correct for a Mac, but am I overlooking something?)
Maybe my iTunes selection isn't local enough for LR2. As an example, I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a. Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
Any help would be appreciated!

Does it matter that the songs are ACC files?
You mean aac? No those play fine on my machine, as well as mp3 files. AFAICT it will work for any format that iTunes can play, even protected files.

The iTunes folder should be in the default location (which yours appears to be, apart from the non-standard drive name) for Lightroom to see the playlists. But the most important thing is extremely simple. iTunes has to already be running. Lightroom as of version 2 somewhere simply sends a play command to iTunes. This allows you to play anything in your iTunes Library now, even protected files bought from the iTunes store before they went completely DRM free. Sometimes I've noticed that you need to have already played the starting song for a little in iTunes before it will work correctly.
Now, I have to say that Lightroom's slideshow module is really quite useless. I usually just export jpegs and run a slideshow in iPhoto or Aperture. Far higher quality (Lightroom's slideshow is always quite fuzzy, no matter what kind of preview you generated), better iTunes support, and far more versatile in general.

How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
No.
... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

Can't get music to play in a slide

I'm working on a presentation and I want some music to play in a silde, but I can't get it to work. I'm able to choose the file and put it into the slide -- I get the speaker icon, but it won't play the file when the slide comes up. I've followed the directions in keynote (I think,) but nothing. Can someone help me out?

Select the speaker icon and then go to the Inspector>Quicktime Tab and make sure that Start movie on click is not selected. Also, check the volume contol at the bottom of the Inspector and make sure it is turned up.

I can't get music to play on iTunes.

Whenever attempting to play a song on iTunes, either by double clicking on a song or by right clicking on the song and selecting the play option, it will pop up at the top in the media player, but wil sit idle at 0:00 and never play. This happens on every song I select. What can I do to fix this issue?

Can't get videos to play from offline

Hey,
Every time I try to play Camtasia videos that I've downloaded
to my files, I get a message saying I need to enable JavaScript (it
is) and download the latest version of FlashPlayer (I have, roughly
a thousand times). I'm on XP, my browser is Firefox, and the videos
play fine if I play them from the person's website. Can anyone tell
me what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks--Kaylee
PS-I'm also asking about this at the Camtasia forum; figured
I might as well cover all the bases

Hello to you both and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As you may or may not know there are some sites out there that choose to not consider Macs when they design their sites. This does lead to some problems for us Mac users from time to time...
What you both need to have is the latest Safari, Quicktime, and Flip4Mac installed. And Dan if you like you can use WinMedia because your machine is not Intel. On SI I am able to play videos...actually it's just CNN so it "should" work for you? But I'm not running Panther. Usually on CNN and on SI it was the same it told me I need to update but I declined and continued using Flip4Mac plugin and it was fine. CNN videos are not Quicktime compatible so that won't help you in this case. With NBA.com it seems their player is proprietary and I was not able to play it on Safari. However on Firefox/Camino it was ok. This might be a case you need to use another browser as I'm not sure of any specific fix for this? But the SI is strange...do you have the box for using Flip4Mac plugin checked in your System Prefs?
As for BBC you probably need Flip4Mac...do you have it installed? Quicktime will play everything compatible but it will not play Windows Media format. For that you will need Flip4Mac...
Let me know if this helps at all?

Can't get music to play on iPad air

Yesterday I got an iPad air as an early Christmas present. Hooray! However, I put close to 3000 songs on it yesterday, and only around 200 of them will play. I'm assuming this is because 99% of my music was NOT purchased through iTunes. Is this the case? Also, are there apps I can download to use in lue of iTunes in case I can't solve this a different way?

You should post in the ipad forum. This is the iphone forum.

No.

Can't get music to play outloud.

Once I have taken out the headphones on my iPod touch I cannot play music through the speaker, what is wrong, I can't even change the volume . I definately have a working speaker because my alarm works.
Also is ther a quick way to access you know playing and is it possible to be able to change music before unlocking it?
Any other helps and tips would be appreciated .

http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
Which ipod touch do you have? If you have the first gen ( no volume rocker on the side), then it is because ti does not have an external speaker ( yes it will still alarm).
You can control the ipod even when locked. The manual explains this.
